This is it folks, this is peak television. What we have here is one of the most gut wrenching and masterfully crafted episodes ever brought to screen. Absolutely fucking phenomenal with career best performances from Murray Bartlett and Nick Oferman. Holy shit this will stick with me.
THEY PROMISED ME ZOMBIES AND ALL I HAVE NOW IS DEPRESSION
What a beautiful episode, I don't remember an episode like this for years, very well done, just perfect.
Which version do you prefer? The Game or the Show? I will have to go with the show, its more happy, kinda.
The way they picked an episode title that would make absolutely no one suspect anything…
I usually do not watch TV episodes till after the credits roll but there is actually an after credits scene here that noone should miss!
Oh God no, not Wade! Not the character we don't even know, and couldn't give less of a care about. Why did you have to take such a nobody from us!?
Yawn, this show is just plain boring.
How can they release a crap like Obi Wan and then Andor which is damn amazing. This episode was a masterclass.
Honestly the action on this show is really bad and clumsy. Does Deborah Chow direct all of these episodes? Because if so then things do not bode well for this series. Also people just knowing Vader is Anakin Skywalker seems pretty dumb
This singular episode, which I initially didn’t think I would like in the beginning, became more incredible than entire movies. It was beautiful, poetic and entirely self encapsulated in a tiny little world where people can still pick out their little slice of happiness.
To all those who hated the episode, replace bill with a female in your head if you have to, but open your eyes to why this story was so fulfilling and poetic in a world filled with meaningless death and endless suffering.
Awesome finale. I can only hope season 2 is as good as season 1.
I'm not sure what's missing, but these episodes just feel off. I know it's not good to compare, but I'll do it anyway, The Mandalorian felt exciting and like the Star Wars Universe was filled with characters... This show feels like everything is stale and if it didn't have the nostalgia of Obi and Vader I don't think anyone would be interested.
This episode had some nice bits. The scenes with the bodies Obi found was very intriguing. That was the only thing I liked. They really did skip Obi getting better and it was glossed over like months had past but I believe it was days. I can't imagine that The Mandalorian would have done it this way.
I'm really losing interest and hoping that something happens soon to make this worth the wait.
It felt like something was missing, I would've loved if they could've added at least two more episodes to explore all these events, the season was full of time skips which I despise in any show and the whole show felt rushed, somewhat sad for a show this great to end this way imo
it's honestly so wild that they actually made a good star wars show
Great series so far. Obi Wan season 1 was clearly a missed opportunity and shite next to this.
I really hope they'll keep this quality of storytelling and atmosphere.
Unnecessary waste of time drama. She had a chance to burn them all but flies away on the dragon.
I have been destroyed emotionally and I don't know if I'll ever recover
I'm gonna comment here before season 1 ends. This is the best SW content on Disney+ streaming service better than Mandalorian, especially the horrible Kenobi series and the bad/mediocore BOBF.
That Security Force is probably good Stormtrooper material. :laughing:
Anyway, still slow burning. The whole first three episodes released today are rather on long pilot movie I guess. Let's see how that movie ends.
I don't get what happened! one second Rhaenyra stood with Daemon ... the next, Daemon disappears and we see Criston beating the hell out of that other guy ( what's his name ?) ....
Where the hell did Daemon go? I demand an explanation. :smile:
Welcome to the two new actors... probably not the best episode to form a proper opinion of their skills as actors, but the episode itself had a lot going on and it was hard enough who was who and why just two actors needed to be changed and yet Ser Christon was his young looking self. And all those kids... are we suppose to keep track of them all? Such a shame Daemon's new wife (for this episode) had a problem, such a beauty.
We have a Dragon population explosion and there are a number of very interesting gaming pieces ahead methinks, for the throne. I'm not really sure why they chose to fast track the prestory into 5 episodes rather than extend the story over the first season. They must have their reasons I guess and we will know soon enough, but it better be a good reason.
We shall see how next week goes...I did enjoy this episode. Gave it a 7/10.
What a brilliant little series, and episode this was.
I get that sometimes characters in a story need to make illogical decisions so the plot can move forward, but that needs to be balanced with some characters making logical decisions. Not a thing that happened this episode made sense.
And why are the rebels all a bunch of helpless women and wimpy men? How are they a threat to the empire? If you have a grenade, why not throw it at the bad guys? Why can no one in this universe fire a weapon from cover? Why exactly are so many people gathered together in a big empty building? Why did no one this episode care about precious Wade? Why did they even go this this place instead of going directly to Alderon? If you want to kill Darth Vader and have been around him for years, just poison his food. I'm assuming he has to occasionally eat.
I'm at the point now where I miss the writing of Boba Fett and his teenage vespa street gang.
A worthy season finale. Season finales are difficult to master (GoT failed miserably in its show finale). There's not much more to say. Except maybe the fact that Daemon is a strange guy. Don't really know what to make of him.
3 episodes in and the show has already jumped the shark. Kinda sad, because up until that point, it was pretty good.
We sat glued to this.
My partner is part Indian, and although we never talked about it, when we started dating, I had to meet the relatives, worse than job interviews. Seeing the inside working, especially of the super rich (and often spoiled) singles in India and in America was so funny.
Sadly, we didn't see what happened to many of the relationships , but so funny to watch :-)
why the cgi is so fucking lame???? Great episode but I couldn't help wonder about the bad cgi
Not great once again. Considine and Smith, along with the costumes and production design, are just about holding it up but very slim pickings elsewhere (though I do love that Ifans watched a video of Tywin and thought, that'll do for my acting).
The writing isn't great (how many times did we need to be told that the irritating princess is headstrong and uncontrollable?) and that awful "action" sequence at the end was the utter drivel the episode spun its wheels to get to.
